Chinese television station CCTV9 will be soon aired on a 24 hour basis here, to cater for Chinese nationals living in Guyana. Chief Executive Officer of the National Communications Network (NCN), Mohammed Sattaur said government has supported the move and NCN will manage the new station.
“The Chinese delegation has proposed that they provide the satellite uplink and downlink facilities as well as the transmitter for the broadcasting and a control room for managing the broadcast.”
The state channel- NCN, has been broadcasting one hour of news from CCTV9 for approximately 6 years but it will now have its own designated channel. The Chinese counterparts expressed their gratitude for the collaboration, noting that it will help to forge closer ties between the two countries.
